Nerine is a bulbous plant with about 30 species. In regions with a cold climate, nerine is grown as a houseplant.
Nerine blooms from early autumn and blooms during September-October. A stable long peduncle of nerine about half a meter high with an umbrella-shaped inflorescence at the end appears at the same time as narrow dark green leaves. The inflorescence of nerine consists of several charming funnel-shaped flowers, the color of which can be white, pink, crimson, red or orange.
From late autumn to early spring, the plant needs bright diffused light, since at this time the plant still has leaves.
During the summer, the bulbs are stored in a dry place at a temperature of 23-25 degrees. After flowering and until early spring, the temperature should be 8-10 degrees - at higher temperatures, the plant may not bloom the following year. After flowering, reduce watering, reduce it even more in spring, and then stop watering altogether until the bulbs sprout again. Top dressing is done with liquid fertilizers: once a week during flowering, twice a month after flowering and until mid-spring, and do not feed from May until new flowering. The dormant period for nerine is from May to August. Or a nerine bulb bought in the spring can be immediately planted in a pot, it will bloom in late August-September. The dormant period for a bulb planted in the spring will last from October to February-March, then you should put the pot with the plant in a bright place and start watering, sprouts will appear in a week.
